Pavel Mach (Member, IEEE) received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in telecommunication engineering from Czech Technical University in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic, in 2006 and 2010, respectively. From 2006 to 2007, he joined the Sitronics Research and Development Center of Prague focusing on emerging mobile technologies and he was involved in research activities of Vodafone Research and Development Center with Czech Technical University in Prague, from 2005 to 2008, where he is currently a Senior Researcher with 5G Mobile Research Lab founded in 2015 at Czech Technical University in Prague focusing on 5G and beyond mobile networks. He has published three book chapters, more than 70 conference or journal papers, and he is a co-inventor of three U.S. patents. He was involved in several European projects, such as FP6 FIREWORKS, FP7 ROCKET, FP7 FREEDOM, and FP7 TROPIC. He was/is a principal investigator in national research projects focused on allocation of radio resources to cognitive small cells and combination of device-to-device communication with visible-light communication. He was on internship in EURECOM, France in 2019. His current research areas include radio resource management for device-to-device communication, specifically focused on relaying techniques and incentive mechanisms given to the relaying users; new techniques for dynamic functional split for C-RAN-based network architectures, positioning of flying mobile base stations, and mobile-edge computing.
